How far would you go for the one you love?

A teary-eyed Korean video clip. For the English lyrics of this song, click here.


"BECAUSE I'M A GIRL" by: Kiss
Version English

I just can't understand the ways
Of all the men and their mistakes
You give them all your heart
And then they rip it all away

You told me how much you loved me
And how our love was meant to be
And I believed in you
I thought that you would set me free

(REFRAIN):
You should've just told me the truth
That I wasn't the girl for you
Still, I didn't have a clue
So my heart depended on you, whoa

(CHORUS):
Although I'll say I hate you now
Though I'll shout and curse you out
I'll always have love for you
Because I am a girl

Been told a man will leave you cold
Get sick of you and bored
I know that it's no lie
I gave my all, still I just cry

Never again will I be fooled
To give my all when nothing's true
I won't be played again
But I will fall in love again

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

I loved you so
Now you leave me in the cold
How could this be
I thought that you'd only love me

Into the night
I will pray that you're alright
You hurt me so
I just can't let you go

You took advantage of my willingness
To do anything for love
Now I'm the only one in pain
Will you please take it all away

Never thought being born a girl
How I can love you and be burned
And now I will build a wall
To never get torn again

(CHORUS) [2x]

The Gift I Have

A friend once gave me one variety of a tree some 5 years ago (or maybe 7, I forgot). It was still a plant when it was given. I remembered I was still in my college years those times. It was something I never gave much attention to or taken cared much as I was an ideal but typical student, concerned of getting a higher mark to maintain my academic privilege. Years gone by and I hardly noticed that the plant turned into a tree and was growing healthier and bigger, even without me taking care of it. Nature really has its way of everything. I was amazed. Soon I tried nursing it by my own hands. It did grew well.

This tree is an inspiration. It gives me joy. Everyday I look forward to seeing it, wanting to see that it is healthy and fine. The anticipation is a vitamin that energizes me. That beyond these anxieties and troubles I have, I still have this wonderful gift making me feel I have conquered my fears and the world.

Nature has its give and take cycles, I know. Yet, this, the gift that was given to me even if cannot speak the language I am speaking, just the presence of it is a joy for me. They have said I must give back to Nature the nursing so I can take care of other things too because Nature brings back everything to dust. And they knew that this will bring me to grief. And yes, I am trying to let go of the nursing; bringing it back to Nature slowly.

I know that soon I can finally let Nature take care of it in full. The tree will have to meet day and night but all in accordance to Nature. It will grow bigger and sturdy but it will also have to return to the earth's crust. It may not be soon. But the Acacia Tree will, eventually.

The Climb

I am currently addicted to this song. It always reminds me to continue living my dreams. love it!

The Climb
OST Hannah Montanna

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa Read more...

Last Chance

This song just keeps on popping out my mind and I unconsciously, constantly singing its few lines. I don't know either why it suddenly came on me. So I go online and search for the song title and its lyrics. And... EUREKA! Here it is! ;) Last Chance by Allure. You can view the video here.

LAST CHANCE
by Allure

This is my last dance with you
This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is real

This is the last chance for us
This is the moment that I just cannot let end
Before I know that theres a chance were more than friends

So dont let go, dont let go
Make it last all night
This is my last chance to make you mine

I kept my feelings so deep
I kept my dreams of you and me somewhere inside
Although I prayed that you would see it in my eyes

But this is my last chance to say
Whats in my heart before you stay out of my life
And then youll understand the way I feel inside

So hold me close cause it feels so right
This is my last chance to make it mine
Make this dream reality
So close and yet so far
Gotta find a way into your heart
Gotta speak my mind
Gotta open up to you this time
I cant let you slip away tonight
This is my last dance iwth you

This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know that what I feel for you is so real
So dont let go
Just make it last all night long
This is my last chance to make you mine, yeah
To make you mine Read more...

Relaxing

Good thing I was able to relax with my friends for two days. The time was worthwhile. I felt the crust of the earth under my feet, the sunshine, the wind and most especially the waters. Wooh! I had a splash of my life! The vacation was a cheap thrill and very adventurous. I will always remember that time that which I cannot take back and return. It was odd for I think I may not be able to do that again. :( Read more...

Another Luxurious Collection

With my constant buzzy and busy days, time plays an important role. Time is Gold. It must never be put to waste. I learned so many lessons of spending my time to waste. Expecting that I can recover the lost moments, I never could. And I learned to value time... slowly though. ;)

I have three (3) Time Zones on my laptop, reminding me that I must not forget that I am working for three (3) countries and that each time is significant. I got cellphones to alarm and remind me that I have activities and events, tasks to do. Yet, what I do not have is a wristwatch that will tell me time conveniently.

I always think that if I own one, it must be of good quality, a trusted one. Panerai Watches caught my interest and started to browse about this watch. I say it is a Luxury Watch Brand - Panerai, an elegantly masculine-designed watch. Established since 1860, this watch has proven to be a quality-made and a must-have for men of ages. Do they also have counterparts for women?

Heading off for Cheap Thrills!

The earth's crust has always been the best floor to walk on. I have hoped to do this months before I landed on a new job. I thought this will be deprived of me knowing that life ahead (thinking from the past) will keep much of my time. It is indeed, yes. I was deprived of sunshine, wind, water, and earth. And now it's time for me to spend myself with them. Yipee! I gotta go nature tripping with my friends soon!;) We will be wandering of a nearby province with our sneakers and backpacks. I missed the nature's bounty and I wish to spend my time with her soon. I am leaving! Read more...

Sporting for your team's needs

Nothing keeps you up beat than staying fit and healthy all the time. Maintain a healthy diet by keeping a constant workout at gyms near you or simply enjoy the sports you are playing. They keep you abreast with the fast pace of life and avoid you being stressed out, especially with today's lifestyle.

My life is all about work and home but I see to it that if I miss my badminton sessions, I always have my belly dancing in the house. These keep me fit and relaxed. Working out can sometimes be tiring for me so I enjoy sports with my cousins and childhood friends playing soccer or volleyball. It gets me in the circle.

For students, yuppies and professionals who enjoy summer the best way, enjoying the outdoors will be very great. Some enrolls at sports clinics and some are on the constant play of their favorite sports.

It is not just on summer, but it may be weekends or weekdays to get you going.

Feel Good, Look Good

I just had a conversation with a good friend this afternoon. A friend of hers told her that she is growing prettier recently. 'Maybe you just feel good and that reflects the aura', I told her. She laughed and approved after I reminded her that the previous environment she has was toxic.

Aside from the piles of work she had in the past, she became unhappy toward the management, toward the BOSS. Her workmates were great. She had no problems with them. But they are not enough to console everything. She hadn't realized she was growing old, unconsciously stressed out with the duties and the management. She later realized, left and found a new place.

Now, everytime I look at her I see a bright personality. She may have great responsibilities at work but she greatly works with her boss and she loves what she's doing. She looks good because she feels good in everything.

The people around us affect how we think and feel because we are constantly moving with them. Fortunately, this friend of mine has found her place and she's unceasingly thriving for fulfillment and self-worth.
